Tim Minchin – Ill Take Lonely Tonight (Guitar)

G          Em9        G
[tab]      Em9      G
Your offer is kind

    Em9         G
And I must confess

    Em9         Am9
That I find your casual caresses

     Am9
And that pretty dress

        Cmaj7         Cmaj7
Pretty hard to resist

      Am9
And Christ what a night

        Am9
I think you're pretty high

        Cmaj7
I know I'm pretty pissed

     G        Em9         G
But I'll take lonely tonight

        Em9       G
Though I'm not denying

 Em9          G
I hate being alone

Em9     Am9                    Am9
Even so, I know regret in the making

              Cmaj7                       Cmaj7
You're one of those others I swore I'd forsake

         Am9                     Am9
And although this extraction is taking

    Cmaj7         Cmaj7
A great act of will

Cmaj9
I got a girl

         Cmaj9              G/D
Has my heart in house on a hill

      G/D        Am9        Am9
So though I am hungry and tempted

    Cmaj7                    Cmaj7
I'm sorry, I'm not going to bite

 Em9
I'm gonna take lonely

 G        Em9       G
I'll take lonely tonight

       Em9        G
Though I know I might

            Em9      G
Well have future regrets

     Em9      Am9                        Am9
That I didn't more often take up these chances

                  Cmaj7
For what is life for

                      Cmaj7
But to shag, drink and dance

              Am9                         Am9
And teenager me would be screaming his pants off

         Cmaj7
Begging me to stay

       Cmaj9
But my girl has my heart

      Cmaj9         G/D
In a house half a planet away

                Am9
And I'd rather murder

      Am9
Than hurt her

                              Cmaj7
So sorry, though it feels so right

 Cmaj7
I'm gonna take lonely tonight

   Esus7
Odysseus wasn't strong enough

     Esus7/D
To endure the Siren song

         Cmaj9                           Cmaj9
And so he made the sailors tie him to a mast

                 D
And Jesus spent forty days and forty nights

     D
He stood his ground and fought his fight

        Cmaj9                                Cmaj9
And the Devil tried, but couldn't break his fast

             D
If this is true

                                   C
The Devil should have offered him you

 G        Em9       G
I'll take lonely tonight

   Em9             G       Em9       G
In my three-point-five star boutique hotel

                     Am9
Where I will spend Twenty-five bucks

                            Cmaj7
On minibar snacks and pass out on my phone

     Am9
And wake in four hours or so

                         Cmaj7
Soaked in relief to find I am alone

      Am9
With only the wrappers of Pringles and Snickers

      Cmaj7
For which to atone

    N.C.            G
Blissfully lonely
